Miss Tanga

Tangawizi F. Baby

There is a new kitten in my life.

Now before I get started, I want to be clear as glass: I am not a serial cat collector and deserter.  I did rescue a kitty that I found in Nairobi, but I just kept her at home long enough to get her cleaned up and healthy before I found her a new forever home.  Now here I am in Lamu, with another little kitty on my hands.  This one I was much more proactive about taking in, but she was in a similar situation, one of too many kittens who was facing life on the street.  I took her in, cleaned her up, de-wormed her, etc, and now I consider her my foster kitty.  I think I have found a good forever home for her but for now she is staying with me as a companion.  We take care of each other!

Meet Tanga, full name Tangawizi.  Tangawizi means ginger in Swahili, and she is a little ginger kitten, so I thought the name was perfect.  She is growing fast and getting chubby very quickly.  She is very active and gets the run of my entire apartment building as she has made quick friends with every neighbor.  She is very energetic and will tear up and down the stairs all night while I am cooking dinner, then return just in time to beg for some fish or meat.  She has been known to climb a mosquito net and hang like a bat from the inside, and her favorite spot is her personal mini balcony outside the back of my room.  She is a perfect little ball of trouble.
